Race Description
Valley Crest Trail Races, a cornerstone event for runners since 2002. Featuring a Half Marathon and a 10k, this race takes you along the historic and picturesque "Dirt" Mulholland, known as "The Friendliest Race in L.A." With a blend of challenge and accessibility, it's perfect for competitive athletes and trail-running newcomers alike.
Experience the unique character of "Dirt" Mulholland. This 1920s ridgeline trail, originally built to display the San Fernando Valley's real estate potential, offers stunning northward views and southward vistas of canyons and the ocean. Don't miss the remarkable sights from the Nike Missile Site overlook, presenting 360-degree views of Los Angeles and its surroundings.
Scheduled in late June, the race promises ideal L.A. summer weather – warm and sunny with clear skies and a gentle breeze, enhancing the natural beauty and challenge of the course. It's an inviting setting for runners to enjoy the scenery and test their limits.
